Ask if you want me to compose your game.

One thing that I would like to see happen with films is for music not to be treated as just one more ingredient, but as an integral and fundamental part, due to its fatal capacity to affect the mood of the movie.

Most of us aren't musically skilled enough to give very insightful criticism.    Personally I can tell you my favorites and what I feel about them.

"Lonely music box in the orchestra"

"unforgiving world called the reality"

These felt like your most confident songs.   Many of the others I listened to sounded very unsure, very uncertain.   Or they just weren't to my liking.  *not a big new age fan*

I don't really enjoy the songs of the dolphins and whales, if you catch my drift.

Here's the 2nd thing:   You posted about 20 songs.    Nobody could ever give you constructive criticism of 20 songs in a thread like this.   That tells me you aren't so much looking for criticism but looking for praise.    That's fine.   But you asked for a reason why people aren't chiming in.   I think it might be that they sense you don't actually want criticism, you want to hear good things.

I like those 2 songs!  Maybe make another thread with one song and specific instructions about what you need help with.

Thanks. Well... you're right but I really don't feel right to post over 20 topics for all songs  ;D

I was surprised you actually like the "unforgiving world called the reality". In my opinion it was failure, because at the time I couldn't have proper lead sound and it sounds a bit irritating and also... the worst thing... it was a shock, that I found out to only afterwards that the recording was in fact mono, not stereo, just because I accidently used mic input. This happened before I got my professional sound card.

I disagree because In fact, I was looking for a criticism... and not praise but simply opinions. My songs lacks comments so I really do not mind negative comments as well.

LOL. I really know the term of "dolphins and whales" songs and I do not want to make such, but those songs I did... it was only about my boredom, nothing else.

I think, also, when it comes to making music for games, you need to be able to tell us what kind of game it's for, and what sort of scene/room it will be used in.

For example, if you were to say, 'I composed "Untitled Movement" for my horror game "Kill All Humans" which I will be using during a very frantic chase sequence,' then we would be able to provide you with some more constructive criticism. I would then be able to say, 'Well, "Untitled Movement" isn't the sort of thing that would liven up a chase sequence. Perhaps you could compose something that has a faster tempo, maybe include some serious orchestration with plenty of crash cymbals and bass. Because, as it stands, it sounds more appropriate for something that would be found in a sci-fi/high fantasy game.'

But as it stands, I quite like your style. The Korg keyboard is definitely something of a lost instrument, so it's cool to hear something so retro being used in a modern setting.
